Well can you explain to me matey?

OK an explanation for BBC Three viewers . .

We're planning to build our new stadium between a scrap yard and two sewerage works , on the spoil heap thrown up by the naavies when they built the Ship Canal that was then used as a rubbish tip . Our winger may well disappear into a hole in the ground near the West Stand if we don't get the drainage right , and there's a 48% chance it will be under water within the next 50 years due as it's part of the Irwell valley flood plain under risk from global warming .. Sleep tight

Drove past this morning and it looks like they are in the final stages as they are now leveling and smoothing the top surface.

Does anyone know the date when the chosen contractors are announced?, think that is the next important date.

No but construction start on the 9th of Novenber I think.

Think the tendering process is down to the final two bidders and the preferred bidder will know sometime in the next two weeks, then it's all systems go

Could there be any implications on the local funding provided for your community stadium under the CSR?

On the whole our stadium is privately funded as part of a wider business development, with the local council giving a land donation of around $2,000,000 for both us and Cas.

Hope all is well and those no good Tories don't hinder your plans!

The public money that's been "given" to the scheme (NWDA contaminated land remediation funds) has now been spent - so hopefully we'll be fine.

Oh that's good.
I was under the impression that the ground was a joint venture from Peel and your local council, I thought your council gave a donation of several million pounds??

Anyway's as I said all the best for the future.

Site pics from driving (we'll being a passenger) over Barton Bridge yesterday. I think the smooth area to the top end of the site is what MR is talking about further up the thread and is the approx area of the stadium.

Plenty of work going on again this morning as I drove over.

The leveling off process seems to be all that's left to do now as they are really cracking on with it.

Do they have to leave it fallow for a certain amount of time before anything else can happen???

Hi Cas fan here.

I know Salford got full planning approval in August but The plans had to be formally approved by The Secretary of State.

Have you had that yet?
